For the third time on M-Net’s “Tinsel“, the Nigeria-based soap opera TV series, we bid farewell to an actor but not the character.
One of Tinsel's key characters “Angela Dede” has been played by Nigerian actress Matilda Obaseki since the inception of the show, Matilda has now been replaced by Ghanaian Actress Leonora Okine(Leonora has previously featured in Ghanaian TV series and movies including “Different Shades of Blue” and ”Blood & Chocolate).
We(fans and Tinsel addicts) were not even informed of the change prior to the appearance of the new actress on TV screens during Season 5, Episode 776 of the series, fans reacted by commenting via social media sites Facebook and Twitter.
Matilda Obaseki’s had garnered award nominations for her delivery of the Angela Dede role especially given the challenges involved in playing the role of the troubled yet determined mentally ill young woman with dignity rather than as a caricature.
The actress announced her engagement in March 2012 and is pregnant with her first child.
We will definitely miss Maltida but we wish her the very best as we welcome a new Angela and see how she plays out the role. Or can she be better?
